Release v0.0.1

Caution

IMPORTANT: Go into the game's In-Game Audio Settings and TURN OFF the DJ Voice.

🎉 v0.0.1: FH2 Streaming Radio YTM is here!

The YouTube Music version of the radio mod. Cast from YouTube Music or YouTube on any device with the app on the same network, pick Forza Horizon 2, and your songs play on a station in the game. Song title and channel show up in the Now Playing popup.

⚠️ One radio mod at a time

This uses the same D3DCompiler_47.dll as the Spotify version, FH2 Streaming Radio, so you can only run one of the two. They use separate folders (youtube-radio and spotify-radio), and since both support local music, you can copy your MUSIC folder between them.

📱 Cast from your phone

Play, pause, next, previous, seek, and volume all work from the app. Your queue plays in order and the next song is fetched ahead of time so it starts fast.

🎶 Local music

No casting? The station shuffles your own songs from youtube-radio\MUSIC, or links you put in youtube.txt.

🎮 More goodies

• LB + X skips to the next song (skip_combo)
• Music pauses in menus and when you change stations (pause_when_silent)
• Pick any of the 7 stations with station
• Your own logo with logo.png or logo.jpg

Install

1. Drop D3DCompiler_47.dll and the youtube-radio folder next to Azimuth.exe. Replace the Spotify version's D3DCompiler_47.dll if you have it.
2. Start the game. The first launch downloads two small helper programs (about 65 MB) in the background.
3. In YouTube Music or YouTube, tap cast and pick Forza Horizon 2.
4. Turn DJ Voice OFF in the in-game Audio Settings, then switch to Horizon XS.
